Bugs, Worms, and creepy things that fly are often themes for Halloween treats. Of course, nobody really eats those things (hopefully), but it’s fun to make foods that look like them, especially for the kids. These Creepy Halloween Centipedes are not really creepy or scary, and they don’t spend any time in cool, damp, and dark places; actually they are delicious! Bella and MaKaylee made this batch of Creepy Centipedes in less then 30 minutes, and they were devoured in less time than that.
These bugs are kid-friendly and can be made with minimum adult supervision. It’s always a good idea to have an adult around while kids are using the microwave, but other than that, the kids can do everything by themselves. (For a great list of Cooking Rules for Kids, visit Bella’s website, Isabella Cooks.)

The kids can use their imagination for decorating these centipedes; if mini chocolate chips are available, they can be sprinkled on the top to make spotted centipedes. Black sanding sugar adds a black sparkle. M&M’s can be used in bright colors for eyes, or red cinnamon candies can also be used as eyes. Black licorice strings can be used for antennas.
